Paradise helicopter tours offer the most unique, fun and flexible air adventures across the Hawaiian Islands.

Whether you are departing from Kona or Hilo on the Big Island, or from our exclusive helipad on the North Shore of Oʻahu (at Turtle Bay Resort) – our team of exceptional pilots (and awesome aircraft) are ready to show you all the amazing things there are to see here in Hawaiʻi! This is one flight you will be sure to remember for a lifetime.

Places to see

We have the best pilots, period. We even have several former “Marine One” presidential pilots serving three United States presidents. Above all, our pilots will keep you and your party safe. They have the necessary skills, experience, and credentials to do just that, every time. Our pilot team is well versed in Hawaiian geology, history, and culture, and aims to provide a rich and rewarding experience that is a lot of fun!

A truly Hawaiian experience.

We are locally owned and operated.

Paradise Helicopters is a locally owned and operated company founded in Hawai‘i in 1997. Over our years of operations in the Hawaiian Islands, we have forged many special partnerships within the communities in which we operate. These relationships allow us to offer much more than lava, rainbows, and waterfalls–we leave you with an authentic piece of Hawai‘i–the unique culture and Aloha spirit that make the islands unlike any other destination in the world.

Hawai‘i’s best remote landings.

Access the inaccesible, high above Oahu.

Yes, we land. We can fly you to some of the most private and remote locations in Hawaii, and land! Why can we offer the best landing spots? It’s because of who we are. We engage with the community, local Hawaiian businesses, non-profit organizations, and charities. The relationships we have built over the years allow us to “access the inaccessible” in a uniquely Hawaiian way, no other company can replicate.

Great 2hr tour with Marco as pilot in command. Excellent narratives, beautiful views, comfortable aircraft and an overall good time was had by all. Don’t miss an opportunity to fly with Paradise when in Kona.

Really enjoyed the flight with Marco. No matter the question I threw at him, he had an answer…really knew his trivia about the island of Hawaii.

Son’s first time in a helicopter in 2012, and he LOVED it! Great way to experience Oahu. Looking forward to seeing the Big Island and volcanoes the same way in June 2014 with wife and son!
